WGTU

WGTU is the ABC-affiliated television station for the Northern Lower and Eastern Upper Peninsulas of Michigan that is licensed to Traverse City. It broadcasts a high definition digital signal on UHF channel 29 from a transmitter east of Kalkaska. Like other network affiliates in this vast rural area, it operates a full-time satellite, WGTQ. Licensed to Sault Ste. Marie, this station airs a high definition digital signal on VHF channel 8 from a transmitter approximately thirty miles SSE of Sault Ste. Marie near Goetzville in Southeastern Chippewa County.

Together, the two are known on-air as ABC 29&8 and serve 23 counties in the Northern Lower Peninsula, three counties in the Eastern Upper Peninsula, and portions of Northern Ontario including Sault Ste. Marie's Canadian sister city. Owned by Cunningham Broadcasting, WGTU is operated through a local marketing agreement (LMA) by Sinclair Broadcast Group, owner of NBC affiliate WPBN-TV and full-time satellite WTOM-TV. However, Sinclair effectively owns WGTU due to Cunningham's ownership structure. Both stations share studios on M-72 west of Traverse City.
